Have you ever had the extreme urge to be crafty but just can't seem to get the energy together to do anything. That's me right now. I've been dying to finish my Kasia skirt, which has been sitting on my sewing machine for over a month, but I just can't seem to get the energy. I already imagined all the tops I would wear the skirt with to look like a NYC Diva. I've decided to put a little more effort into my appearance. Especially now that I'm working in the ever trendy Soho area. A place that is bad for my pockets but great for my style.
Before working in this area I never seem to come this far downtown which is such a shame since I've discovered so many great stores. One of my favorite stores is Mango. It is similiar to H&M. They have all the trends at a reasonable price. I'm a big fan of their tops. Not a fan of their pants. I guess they are targeting model types because all the legs are extremely long. Penelope Cruz and her sister have a line there.
Rusted Root is coming along. I just have to do the sleeves and the neckline and I'm done. It's a little big but not unwearable.
Question. Has anyone in the knitting world picked up the new Stephanie Japel knitting book, Glam Knits.
Well I purchased my copy and can I tell you...the sweaters are gorgeous. I've already put stickies on the things I want to make, but they will have to wait until I make some cardigans from her first book. lolololololol
Well, as God is my witness I will finish the Kasia skirt this weekend. It isn't like I have much to do to it other than putting in the zipper, buttons, and hemming it. I want to wear it with the new sweater I bought from Mango. ;) I hope to have stuff to show by the end of the weekend.
Until Later!

Wow! I have had a Kasia skirt all cut out since the 25th of last month but haven't done a thing with it. I love the skirt so much and every time I see a high waisted skirt and blouse in the magazines I always think about it but alas like you just haven't had the drive to get it done. That book looks good. I have Sensual Knits and Knit so fine.
I hear ya! I feel like that now but I can't do anything lol. I requested the book from the library hope to have it real soon!
I have definitely felt that way - the urge but no energy.
I'm itching to buy Glam Knits, but second thoughts are preventing me, since I have not made anything from Fitted Knits.
Congrats!
Yes! I am in that place right now. Every time I'm inspired something comes up- sickness, family issue what have you. I completely understand. Send you some good sewing vibes. Good Luck!!!
